If someone reached your kid through Roblox, that was not okay.

Roblox. The game with 144 million people on it every day, most of them school age. Six state attorneys general have sued the company over what adults have been able to do to children there, and the families' own lawsuits, from eighteen states, sit in front of one federal judge in San Francisco. If your child, or you when you were a kid, met someone through Roblox and it went where it never should have, then yes. This page is for you.

This applies to you no matter what

You're the parent. That is who this page expects. Pick "I'm asking for someone else" and the questions turn to your child.
Your kid broke a rule. Lied about their age, chatted where they weren't supposed to, kept it quiet. Kids do. The lawsuits are about what the company built, not what a child did inside it.
It moved off Roblox. To Discord, to Snapchat, to a phone. The federal panel that gathered these cases says that is the pattern in nearly all of them, and Roblox is still the one being sued.
Nobody was ever arrested. Most of these cases have no criminal case behind them at all. The claim is against the company.
Your child never met the person face to face. The Ohio complaint we link below is about a 13-year-old girl who never did.
You're grown now and it happened to you, years ago, on Roblox. The clock depends on when. Details below.

The Roblox lawsuits: what the public record says, and when

None of this is ours. It comes from the attorneys general who filed it, the federal judges who wrote it and the reporters who covered it, and every line links to where it came from. These are lawsuits, not verdicts. Roblox denies all of it and says the suits misrepresent how its platform works. No court has decided who is right.

August 14, 2025

Louisiana went first. Attorney General Liz Murrill sued Roblox in the 21st Judicial District Court in Livingston Parish under the state's Unfair Trade Practices Act, alleging the company misrepresented its safety features and had no age verification, so adults could pose as children. The petition points to a July arrest in the parish of a man who, it says, used voice-changing software on Roblox to sound like a young girl. Roblox answered that no system is perfect. Louisiana Illuminator.

Then a family. A mother in Summit County, Ohio, filed for her daughter in federal court in Akron, Mary Doe v. Roblox Corporation and Discord Inc., No. 5:25-cv-01980. Thirteen, the girl. A man who said he was 19, the complaint alleges. He found her on Roblox. Moved her to Discord. Coerced explicit videos out of her, and once he had them, leaked them to her classmates. Nine counts, from negligent design to failure to warn, and a paragraph saying a child cannot be bound by Roblox's arbitration clause. It is now part of the federal consolidation below. Complaint (N.D. Ohio).

October 7, 2025

Kentucky next. Attorney General Russell Coleman sued in Madison Circuit Court and stacked up four theories: Consumer Protection Act, unjust enrichment, negligence, failure to warn. Children as young as six, the complaint alleges, can open an account with no parent anywhere in the process, and the sextortion network that goes by 764 used the platform to get at kids. Roblox called the suit "sensationalized, outdated and out-of-context." Thirteen days later Florida's attorney general served Roblox with criminal subpoenas. Kentucky Attorney General.

November 7 and December 11, 2025

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed in King County district court, alleging Roblox exposed Texas children to explicit content and grooming while telling parents it was safe. Roblox said the suit rested on "misrepresentations and sensationalized claims." Five weeks later Florida followed, in the Eighth Judicial Circuit, with five counts under its Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act. That made five states. Texas Attorney General.

December 12, 2025

The U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation gathered the families' cases into one: In re Roblox Corporation Child Sexual Exploitation and Assault Litigation, MDL No. 3166, before Chief Judge Richard Seeborg in San Francisco. Thirty-one actions in twelve districts, 48 more waiting, nearly 80 in all across eighteen districts. The panel wrote that the common questions include "the extent of Roblox's knowledge that its platform was being used by child predators." Roblox, Discord, Snap and Meta opposed the consolidation. JPML transfer order.

March 4, 2026

Nebraska, in March. Attorney General Mike Hilgers sued in Adams County District Court, two statutes this time, the state's Consumer Protection Act and its Deceptive Trade Practices Act. His complaint puts it this way: Roblox, "despite having detailed knowledge of widespread exploitation occurring on the platform, markets itself as a safe, child-friendly space." And the answer, from Roblox's chief safety officer, was that the suit "fundamentally misrepresents how Roblox works." Nebraska Attorney General.

May 14, 2026

Oklahoma made six. Attorney General Gentner Drummond filed in Cleveland County District Court under the Oklahoma Consumer Protection Act, and he is asking for civil penalties and a permanent injunction, not a promise to do better. The sharpest lines in the petition aren't the AG's. They come from former employees, who "reported feeling explicit pressure to avoid any changes that could reduce platform engagement, even when those changes would protect children from predators." Then the scale of it. 144 million daily users in late 2025, per the same filing, and two-thirds of American children aged 9 to 12. Oklahoma Attorney General.

September 2026 update

The federal case is in its first real fight, and it is not about Section 230 yet. It is about arbitration. Roblox and Discord say the families agreed to arbitrate when they clicked through the terms; their motions on a first set of test cases are due September 22, 2026, the families' answers October 27. On September 1 the court signed a consolidated order appointing guardians ad litem for the children. New suits were still arriving in late August. Nothing has been decided on the merits. MDL 3166 docket.

We checked this on September 12, 2026, and the newest thing in it is from September 2026 update. When something new gets filed or decided, it goes in here within 72 hours, with the link.

Who can be held responsible in a Roblox lawsuit

Not the stranger with the fake age. Him too, if police ever find him, but that is a different case and most families never get one. The lawsuits on file are against Roblox Corporation itself, the company in San Mateo, California that built the platform, set the age rules and told parents it was safe. The theory is the one used against any company whose product hurts a child: negligence, failure to warn, defective design, misrepresentation. The federal panel listed exactly those four. In plain words, the families say Roblox knew adults were using the game to reach children, could have put real age checks in place, and didn't, because it would have cost users.

The knowledge piece is what the attorneys general lean on. Oklahoma's petition quotes former employees who say they felt pressure not to change anything that would lower engagement, even to protect kids. Nebraska's complaint says the company had "detailed knowledge of widespread exploitation." Kentucky's says the 764 network worked in the open. Roblox disputes every word of that, and in January 2026 it started requiring a face-based age check before anyone, of any age, can use chat. A lawyer will read that both ways.

Where the contact moved to a second app, that company is often sued too. Discord is a defendant alongside Roblox in the Ohio case and many others; Snap and Meta are in some. Whether a claim reaches any of them, and how, is the review.

Your deadline: California's statute of limitations for childhood sexual assault, and why your own state matters too

Start with California's clock, because that is where Roblox lives and where most of these cases land. Here is the part a parent needs to know. Assault on or after January 1, 2024, and California sets no deadline, none, because AB 452, which was signed October 10, 2023, rewrote Code of Civil Procedure section 340.1 and took the limit off childhood sexual assault entirely. Against the person and against a company whose negligence let it happen alike. Contact from before 2024 is different; the older rule still applies there, section 340.11 now. Until the person turns 40, or five years from the day they connected the harm to what happened, whichever comes later.

Against a company rather than the individual, the age-40 line holds unless the company knew or had reason to know of the risk, which is exactly what these complaints allege. Since almost everyone this page is about is still a minor, those clocks are years away. What is not years away is the evidence. Chat logs, account records, a phone that gets replaced. That is the honest reason to talk sooner.

One more thing. Your family's own state may run a different clock, and in these cases the lawyers argue over which state's law applies to which family. That is a lawyer's question, not yours. Answer the questions and the review will sort out which rule fits.

Your situation still qualifies even if

Your child hasn't said the whole thing out loud. Many never do, and a lawyer does not need the whole thing on day one.
You don't have the chats. Roblox does, and in a lawsuit that is how they come out.
You reported it to Roblox and heard nothing back. Say so; it matters.
You live in a state that hasn't sued. Families from eighteen states are already in the federal case.
Your child was 13 or older and had an account they were allowed to have.
Nobody was ever charged, and you have no idea who the person really was.

What the record covers

Roblox itself, on any device · the chats, games and private servers inside it · the second app the contact moved to, Discord, Snapchat, Instagram or texting, because that is how the federal panel describes these cases · contact before Roblox's January 2026 age check for chat, and after it. If it started somewhere other than Roblox, the questions still work. Say so on the call.

Questions people are asking

Can I sue Roblox?

Families from eighteen states already have; their cases sit before one judge in the Northern District of California as MDL No. 3166, and six state attorneys general have sued separately. Whether your family can depends on what happened, when, and where you live, which is what the questions above start to sort out.

Statute of limitations. Is there a deadline to sue Roblox?

Depends on the state, and for most families reading this the clock hasn't started to matter yet. In California, where most of the cases sit, there's no time limit on childhood sexual assault that happened on or after January 1, 2024. Before that date a child generally has until age 40, or five years from the day the harm was understood if that comes later. Your own state may differ, and which law applies is argued case by case. A lawyer decides, not a web page.

Has Roblox been found liable for anything?

No. Not in any of these cases. Roblox is fighting them, and it has real defenses: Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which shields platforms from liability for what users post, and the arbitration clause in its terms of service. The federal panel listed Section 230 and the First Amendment as questions the court will have to decide. Right now the fight is over arbitration, with Roblox's motions due September 22, 2026. If someone tells you these cases are already won, they haven't read the docket.

Will my child have to be named, or testify?

Every family in the federal case is filed as Jane Doe or John Doe, with initials, and on September 1, 2026 the court signed a consolidated order appointing guardians ad litem for the children. Whether a child ever testifies is years off and depends on the case. It's a fair thing to raise on the first call, so raise it.

How much does a lawyer cost for a Roblox case?

Nothing, here. Every case is on contingency. The lawyer is paid only out of what is recovered, and if nothing is recovered you owe nothing, not for the call or the review or the case itself.

Kerim Eravci · Survivor Advocate · Not a lawyer

I was a victim, and I waited. Not because I didn't know what happened to me (I knew every day), but because I'd decided it was over, mine to carry, nobody's business. When I finally went looking for a lawyer, the answer came back in two words I'd never thought about: statute of limitations. My time had run out while I was busy getting through it.

What that has cost me since is a long story, and I'll tell you the whole thing in private, if you want it. The short version is the reason my name is on this page: I'm here to help people do what I wish I'd done, which is find out where you stand while the door's still open.
